Answer 1

I hope you will rate my answer positively ----

Left sided heart failure — In this case from left ventricle their is reduction in blood output (ventricular dysfunction).

— here the heart is not able to pump blood to our body organs.

— Main symptoms is shortness of breath because fluid is backed up in lungs.

Right sided heart failure — It mainly occur due to decrease in blood output from ventricles of right side,not able to pump blood.

— Here swelling is main sign because fluid is backed up in feet, abdomen, or legs.

Thankyou.
